Tallulah reminds me of me as a little girl.  She’s so excited about wanting to take ballet lessons, because she wants the tutu that comes with being a real ballerina.  When faced with the reality of the time and practice and work involved in earning one’s tutu, she almost gives up in disappointment.  She quits for a while, but finds herself drawn back by the dancing itself.  Many young girls will relate to Tallulah’s hopes and wishes, and they may just learn something from her about delayed gratification.  The pictures are charming and sweet and full of personality.
